RIP.

He did a fantastic job with that design. Amazing that people on RS would fail it. Seriously? Failing a friggin' picture? :rolleyes:

:inout:

exactly, this was a stroke of genius even though it wasn't meant for this sad occasion

Some may have just thought it was the apple logo and nothing more?

I've never owned or cared for apple products nor did I know the guy personally, so I'm indifferent to his death.

I'll give him an RIP though.

This man breathed life back into PIXAR and brought us all those great films

Its not just APPLE

I dunno, he may have been CEO of Pixar but I think the greatness of those films came from the genious of the writers and animators that worked on them.

I can't believe it but I'm agreeing with taylor192

Steve Jobs was an asshole. I have zero Apple products and I intend to keep it that way for as long as possible.


this was taken at the grand opening of the 5th avenue apple store in new york city. a man in a wheelchair came up to steve jobs and asked for his autograph. jobs proceeded to tell him "no. sign it yourself" in an arrogant way. then when the man asked again jobs says "o, now lay on the guilt. start crying". finally the man told him that he had spent 25 hours on an airplane to get there and jobs caved. after signing he told the man to "go see the rest of the store". what the man had jobs sign was an original copy of a macworld issue with steve jobs on the cover debuting the original macintosh.

Steve was probably high
HAH

Do you apologies the same way? Say your RIP and leave it at that asshole!

Originally Pixar was a high end computer company before Jobs bought it. Steve jobs took a 2 week screen play writing course when they decided to make films.

So then we can assume that products you own all come from companies where the CEO is a saint?

Many of you can not seem to separate the man and the company. He accomplished great things, he did some not so honourable things, he worked his ass off, he had ideas and saw them through. He made our life on Earth easier, bringing people together through technology and all of the advancements others have been able to make from it.

In the end, he was still just another one of us, a human being, a father and a husband, who unfortunately passed away from cancer, and that deserves respect on the very basic level of humanity.

The dumbass comments in this thread show how naive, ignorant and cynical many of you are, and that's sad.

ps. not a fanboy.

Why would that be surprising? I would expect people in his position to be demanding and ruthless.

I try to purchase from companies that I believe in, especially regarding expensive purchases.

I don't intend on ever owning a Volkswagen because of it's Nazi origins.

:facepalm:

Those at the top usually set the example for the rest of the chain. If the top is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, as an employee how long do you want to ride the rollercoaster? That's how good employees end up at other companies, and if you lookup some of the good people Apple has employed, you'll find them not at Apple anymore.

Pixar became successful cause of one man making animated shorts (not Jobs), the original iPod was mostly the work of another company, and even the latest iOS feature is a company Apple bought. Jobs didn't inspire these ideas, nor innovate them - he marketed them.

He was a marketing genius that developed a cult like following. That's an awesome accomplishment, yet not the one most credit him with.

Someone tore down their Macbook and made this. lol.

I would like to ask which company do you believe in? (I'm not trolling or trashing, i'm just curious)

Dont' get a BMW as well.
BMW's Quandt family acknowledges Nazi ties after new study

I don't usually start flame wars on the interwebs, but are you fucking serious? If that's your logic, then why are you driving a fucking Japanese car?

I have never bought or owned any BMW's, but it seems like Mr. Jobs had a preference for Mercedes-Benz

Steve Jobs still parking in Handicapped spaces

Steve Jobs is still parking in handicapped spaces at Apple, according to a new snap posted to Flickr.

Snapper Rana Sobhany spotted Jobs’ Mercedes SL55 AMG parked in a handicapped spot at the Apple campus over the weekend.

“Mercedes? Check. No license plate? Check. Handicap spot? Yep, this is Steve Jobs’ car!!!” she writes.

Jobs, of course, has a long history of parking in handicapped parking spaces at Apple. The reports go back years, and have recently been documented on Flickr.

Since 2006, Jobs’ car has been snapped in handicapped parking spaces at Apple at least five times. See the pictures after the jump.

Via ValleyWag.

Jobs drives a Mercedes SL55 AMG, a super fast, $130,000 sports car. Equipped with a supercharged 5.5 liter V-8 engine, the SL55 is the fastest Benz in America.

“Crack the throttle, and this posh heavyweight lunges forward like a shark that’s been invited to nibble a chunk of Britney Spears,” wrote Tony Swan in Car&Driver’s review. Curiously, it’s not the top of the line Merc: the $190,00 SL65 is. You’d expect Jobs to plump for the best.

Apple veteran Andy Hertzfled reports on his history of the Mac website, Folklore.org, that Jobs was constantly parking in the restricted spaces. “He seemed to think the blue wheelchair symbol meant the spot was reserved for the chairman,” Hertzfeld writes.

In a comment to Hertzfeld’s post, Dan Cochran, who worked at Apple, noted that one day someone converted the handicapped “wheelchair” graphic into the Mercedes logo.

“I thought it was hilarious but as I recall Steve didn’t find it particularly funny at all,” he notes.

Quipped former Apple executive, Jean-Louis Gassee, when he saw Jobs park in a restricted spot: “I never realized those spaces were for the emotionally handicapped…” (According to Wikiquote, Jean-Louis now says morally handicapped when retelling the story.)

Mods, please move all this ^ crap into another thread.

Why? Are you adverse to remembering someone for who they actually are?

I recognize the truth hurts, yet please recognize it is the truth and not just random bashing.

How did he get away with no license plate?
